http://www.codeonemagazine.com/article.html?item_id=74While Convair prepared for production and struggled with aerodynamic issues, Lockheed pursued its own design efforts on a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance platform. During this period, the CIA also tasked Lockheed with designing its own B-58 parasite as a check on the performance predicted for FISH by Convair. Lockheed Skunk Works came up with two designs. One was called Arrow I; the other, B-58-Launched Vehicle. Both designs confirmed Convair’s performance figures.
